  • Patent number: 9449350
    Abstract: Computer-readable media, systems, and methods are provided for prompting a customer of a service to submit digital content to the service in order to generate an online compilation. Input from the customer may be received in response to communications from the service. Temporal preference information may then be extracted from the input by determining time periods at which the customer most commonly provides the input in response to the communications. Based on the time periods at which the customer most commonly provides input, a prompting scheme may be derived, where the prompting scheme governs scheduling an automatic distribution of subsequent communications to the customer at the time periods at which the customer most commonly provides the input. The subsequent communications may then be distributed to the customer in accordance with the prompting scheme.
